+title: VPS Services
+description: On different VPS services
+---
+If you need to run your bot 24/7 (with no downtime), you should consider using a virtual private server (VPS).
+This is a list of VPS services that are sufficient for running Discord bots.

+ * Based in Europe.
+* https://www.digitalocean.com/
+ * US-based.
+ * Considered by many to be the gold standard.
+ * Locations available across the world.
+* https://www.ovh.co.uk/
+ * France and Canadian locations available.

+ * Seemingly based in Lithuania.
+* https://www.linode.com/
+ * Cheap VPS.
+* https://www.vultr.com/

+ * A reliable, affordable, and trusted host.
+
+There are no reliable free options for VPS hosting. If you would rather not pay for a hosting service, you can consider self-hosting. Any modern hardware should be sufficient for running a bot. An old computer with a few GB of ram could be suitable, or a Raspberry Pi (any model, except perhaps one of the particularly less powerful ones). \ No newline at end of file
